She is so smart about some things that I'm sure she can learn to fetch when I learn what to teach her. We often do it in the living room, and she is doing it better. She knows "leave it" and will do that with her toy, but not always close enough for me to get it.
Playing fetch from a lawn chair sounds like just my speed!
Where should I look for the steps in the back-chain?
I also figure this is a different thread than poop balls.
Play two ball!! Lol it's a lot of fun...amd that's how I was taught to teach my pup the game.
So get two toys (like two balls), something she really likes to chase..when she goes for it and starts heading your way back up and when she gets close enough for your liking show her the other ball. Then at the same exact moment she drops the other toy mark it and and throw the second ball in the OPPosite direction as the first ball. Now if you can tell when she is about to drop the ball say the word out and in time she will associate the word out with dropping the ball. That way you can use leave it for thing you don't want her to have, and out for what ever she already has in her mouth. The whole you being in the middle makes you the center of the game and also shows them you want to play and not just steal the toy from her. Took about a week for us to no longer even use the second ball. I'm sure there are a couple steps I've missed...but I'm sure you get the general idea
Depends on temperament, age, and breed. Took me a year to get my saint Bernard to want to bring anything back to me...it helped when I got my puppy and when my st. Saw how much fun it could be he joins the game once in a while. But never had the desire to do it as a daily game. He was very lazy!
Maybe start with some tug with a softer toy and work up to a ball on a string..make tug an awesome game that they just love to pieces and what they are not wanting to stop playing toss it a few feet away and run for it.. Try to beat them to the toy..but let them win if they go for it..and then run away back wards and call them..get excited and the second they drop the toy snatch it and run off with it..reverse rolls lol. You play the keep away till they love the game..then play some two ball but I wouldn't rush two ball
I did that once with a 5 year old rescue we had in a foster program. She started acting like a puppy..it was cute..but I bet others have better ideas
I'll try it as the dog I'm referring to is our 4yro female lab, Pongo. She's a little timid and never has needed much more than a voice correction. It's embarressing to be the owner of what is probably the world's only nonfetching lab espeically since the others just seem to do it naturally.
Lol. No it could be so much worse!!! My neighbors terrier literally sounds like a sqweeky toy if my dog gets to close to her while we take them for walks. Extremely high pitched squeal/squeak! We have to walk on opposite sides of the stree cause I made the mistake of allowing sqweeky toys when my dog was a younger puppy.
Yep, that's worse. A couple of mine would have to walked past across the street as well because it definately wouldn't end well. I feel for the dog with such a strange bark, poor thing. It might as well have have a sign on him that says Please bite me, I'm a squeaky toy.
